Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2022051092A1] A technique facilitates performance of an operation on a cylindrical item, such as a tube or shaft. The technique utilizes a split frame device having separable sections to enable mounting of the split frame device about the cylindrical item while, for example, the cylindrical item remains in place in an overall system. The split frame device may comprise first and second non-rotating split frame steady assemblies supported by linear rails. A rotating tool carrier assembly is movably mounted on the linear rails between the first and second non-rotating split frame steady assemblies. The rotating tool carrier assembly may be positioned about the cylindrical item such that a rotatable component may be rotated about the cylindrical item. At least one power source may be used to impart axial movement to the rotating tool carrier assembly and/or rotational movement to the rotatable component for performance of a desired operation.
